“Do These Work Together?”

Description from Debbi aka Sparkle Chick: I am wondering if anyone has both of these stones. I have the 6mm monaco agate and don't have anything in my stash that truly compliments it's beauty.
If anyone has both stones, I'd love to know if I should order the brown rhodochrosite.
Thanks!

YES!!! Was that subtle enough? LOL I have the brown rhodochrosite, but not the Monaco agate, but they certainly look as though they would be great together. The BR pieces I received look paler than the pix, but are still pretty and would work well with your MA. I like the pearls and gold you’ve chosen, and Jill’s suggestion about addding some pale pink sounds good to me!

Thank you Jeanne & Christine…oh boy, how am I going to slip an order past hubby…May was a busy LB package month for me. I’ll just have to sell some jewelry….Jeanne, you are certainly an inspiration on that front!

Here’s another thought – do you have a local bead shop or large arts and crafts store nearby? light pink czech glass or crystal. small investment, lots of sparkle. Unless of course you really want an excuse to put in another order LOL

hahaha I like how you think Jeanne!
I just checked my stash and I found light pink czech glass! Thank you so much for your suggestions chickies!

Our AC Moore and Michaels also might have something too. Our local bead shops are lovely but very pricey. I recently priced rainbow soocho at a local store…I believe it was twice the LB price for a HALF strand!
It was excellent quality, but still!
LB ROCKS!

Good for you, Debbi for finding that Czech glass. I just came back from the local store because I totally forgot that I needed some light rose quartz for a pair of earrings. Need to bring them to work tomorrow. Luckily she happened to have two loose beads. perfect for what I need. They definitely are a lot pricier, but good in a pinch.
Can’t wait for LB’s sterling!!!

Oh – I also ran into the pizza place because the waitress has asked for something pink. So I brought her a small selection – but I knew she’d go for the pink tourmaline and silver.
Cha – ching… quick sale

I also like the czech crystals in my designs. They can add a nice sparkle, and make good spacers, too. Also, as we discussed before, they help stretch the beautiful LB beads and pearls.
Sometimes, when using really dark stones, I like to add these czech crystals to bring in a little light to the piece.

Lovely necklaces & earrings Jeanne…thank you for sharing!
I also like stretching the bead budget by using czech glass on occasion. I love swarovski crystals but they can get pricey…especially when I want some in every color!

Jeanne, I certainly understand that your month of June must be hectic!
